"I liked the visit way more than I expected, I'm definitely going to look closely at them when making a decision," Johnson said. "The game atmosphere was the best part for me. It was pouring rain and the stadium was still rocking the whole game.

"I felt very comfortable there, the city of Corvallis is a lot different than Los Angeles but I liked it. It's a unique place, a cool college town and I fit in well there. I like the coaching staff a lot and get along well with them. Coach Brennan is my main recruiter and he's real cool. That's my guy right there, we click very well."

His fit in the defense was another plus for Johnson.

"They want me at their "F" backer spot," Johnson said."It's a position that basically does everything. You rush the quarterback, drop back in space and play man to man, it's basically what I do now at Salesian so it's a great fit for me. Like I said, I really had a great visit and Oregon State is definitely high on my list."

"I still want to take a few more official visits as well. I had to cancel two trips to Florida because of the Hurricane and then we had a playoff game on a Saturday so hopefully I can lock that in and I still want to visit A&M too. I'll take an unofficial visit to UCLA and I've already been there a ton of times. Once I'm done with the trips, I'll sit down and evaluate where the best spot for me will be."
